Differences between hemp for pets and any hemp?

In the span of just a few years, peoples
awareness of the benefits of industrial hemp
products (overall), is up significantly and
interest in hemp for pets has been increasing
rapidly.

• When we talk to people and monitor social media,
  we know confusion exists about hemp products for
  pets. For instance
• Its not uncommon for people to tell pet owners
  all hemp products are the same so go ahead and
  use it. (And not being able to tell them how to
  dose it)
• Some people buy a hemp product at a local market
  and show an uploaded image asking is this okay
  for my pet? because it isnt labeled for pets.

4

• Others upload an image of the label which clearly
  shows its a poor choice for pets. The label may
  make a medical claim, or call it a food
  supplement (which is against FDA regs) or shows
  the first ingredient as pressed hemp seed oil
  or some other ingredient thats not good for a
  pet. (False claims, FDA labeling violations, or
  ingredients that dont identify the type of hemp
  a product contains should make you wonder how
  much more the product marketer doesnt know or is
  making up.)
• Dosing questions we see online are good and
  valid. Some replies say, I give my pup 2-drops
  in the morning. Great two drops of what? Is
  their pet a 125-pound Bernese Mountain Dog or a
  4-pound Yorkshire Terrier? And are they using
  750mg or 100mg tincture? The specifics mean a lot!

• People who know Smart Hemp know weve worked with
  veterinarians, specialty formulators and have
  reviewed different studies using hemp with pets.
• The dosing methodology we follow works well for
  pets. When we first started, we followed the
  DVM-derived formula that specifies starting low
  and working up if you dont see the desired
  effects. One University study said (paraphrasing)
  if your pet has never used hemp, start with a
  week-long load dose and back down by half week
  two and beyond.

• One persons reaction Ive never heard that
  it doesnt sound right! The person originally
  asking about dosing responded I tried starting
  with the higher dose, and it worked, but the
  effect wore off after 4-5 hours. How can you say
  your dosing recommendations work? We wrote back
  and said arent you proving our point? If you
  started at the low end as many people tell you
  you wouldnt have seen any results and would
  have stopped, right? The reply was youre
  right, I would have quit!
• Our second point is follow the dosing
  recommendations we provide, which is based on
  your pets weight but remember, all pets are
  different you may need to adjust up or down a
  bit or give your pet a small additional amount
  of hemp during the day. If you stay within the
  general guidelines, you should be fine.

• Why Smart Hemp is a superior product.
• We spent considerable time vetting suppliers and
  formulators at the forefront of ingredient
  quality, formulation expertise and with working
  relationships with veterinarians, scientists and
  medical researchers.
• Our principal suppliers have been pioneers in
  establishing cannabis transparency standards and
  their own transparency reporting. As such,
  quality, purity and safety are guaranteed with
  Smart Hemp products.
• Our suppliers set the bar high and offers us
  Certificates of Assurance from the testing they
  have had done by third party labs. Our suppliers
  do have full chain of custody reports in their
  files.
• Lastly, our suppliers have worked with experts to
  test the delivery methods, efficacy, cellular
  uptake, and responses to various cannabinoid
  products.

But, you ask how does this impact Smart Hemp
for pets? Their efforts are impacting every
facet of the cannabis industry and as such,
impact the development of hemp products
specifically for pets with the Smart Hemp
label. When companies such as those in the
multi-level marketing space and other generic
brands start telling consumers all hemp is the
same, its not true.

• Full Spectrum vs. What?
• Again, online discussions say if it doesnt say
  full spectrum, dont get it! Its no good! Well,
  theyre not quite right!
• They dont know about the manufacture of the
  product theyre considering.
• People tout one extraction process over the other
  often times saying one in particular is the
  best because it uses no solvents. In fact, all
  extraction involves solvents but the good
  companies fully remove it leaving a pure, high
  quality hemp oils and terpenes. The fact is a
  good extractor is able to pull a full profile of
  cannabinoids and terpenes from industrial hemp
  and separate them so they can build the specific
  profile (or spectrum) needed for a specific
  product.

10

• Whats unique about Smart Hemp is, we offer both
  full spectrum products and what we might call
  specialty spectrum or focused spectrum
  because we combine specific cannabinoids with
  other specifically cataloged terpenes and carrier
  oils needed to address specific conditions a pet
  owner wants to address. Yes, we provide
  full-spectrum tinctures, but also specific
  spectrum products for specific purposes. All for
  pets and animals!

• We are careful not to make medical claims and
  include the FDA disclaimer that Smart Hemp and
  all hemp products have not been evaluated by the
  FDA and are not meant to diagnose, treat or cure
  any disease. We do not to use terms like
  therapeutic.
• We remind people not to ignore serious
  conditions or ignore your vets advice. Dont
  stop seeing your vet. If your vet isnt ready to
  embrace hemp, thats okay because you are
  responsible for your pets well-being and need to
  be vigilant with whatever you give your pet. And,
  you can also seek out a vet who more readily
  embraces hemp products and other natural care for
  pets.
• We continue to receive tremendous response from
  customers about the quality of Smart Hemp and are
  happy to have a significant repeat customer base.
